WELC0ME to THURSDAY JULY 25, 2024
Here’s The Story…..
A Baptist pastor was presenting a children’s sermon.
During the sermon, he asked the children if they knew what the resurrection was.
Asking questions during children’s sermons is crucial. Asking children questions
in front of a congregation can also be very dangerous.
After the pastor asked the children if they knew the meaning of the resurrection,
a little boy raised his hand. The pastor called on him And the little boy said, “I’m
not sure, but I know that if you have a resurrection that lasts
more than four hours you are supposed to call the doctor.” 😳😳
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Have a GREAT THURSDAY!, people, stay safe,
and whatever you do, don’t forget to laff it up! Peace, I am outta here! Eucman! 😁

lots of questions. One day my wife finally had it.
“Have you ever heard that curiosity killed the cat?”
my exasperated wife asked.
“No,” replied Terra.

And one day, he looked into a big hole, fell in, and died!”
Wide-eyed, Terra whispered: “What was in the hole?” 😳😳
